Scientific manuscript writing: IMRAD, citation styles (APA/AMA/Vancouver/IEEE), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA/ARRIVE), writing principles (clarity/conciseness/accuracy), venue-specific style. For LaTeX see companion assets.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Scientific Manuscript Writing ## Overview Scientific manuscript writing is the discipline of communicating research findings with precision, clarity, and reproducibility. This knowhow covers the complete lifecycle of manuscript preparation: from planning and structuring a paper using IMRAD format, through applying correct citation styles and designing effective figures, to ensuring compliance with study-specific reporting guidelines. It applies across biomedical, social science, engineering, and computational fields. This entry consolidates writing principles, manuscript structure, citation systems, figure/table design, and reporting standards into a unified reference for producing publication-ready scientific documents. ## Key Concepts ### Writing Principles: Clarity, Conciseness, Accuracy The three pillars of scientific writing govern all manuscript text: - **Clarity**: Use precise, unambiguous language. Define technical terms at first use. Maintain logical flow within and between paragraphs. Use active voice when it improves understanding; passive voice is acceptable in Methods when the action matters more than the actor. …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/scientific-manuscript-writing@sha256:c1e00de436fa20b2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.7303680, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
